Federal program offering free cell phones & service
 / WNWO
I'm not sure if this is a new federal program or if it's been around for a while - but it's new to me so I thought I'd put the information out there.
The federal government has a Lifeline Support Program that provides free cell phones and airtime minutes for those who qualify. Safelink Wireless is the provider and for qualifying participants will ship a free cellphone and at least 250 free minutes of use per month. You can earn more free airtime if you refer more people to the program.
You can find out if you qualify for a free cellphone and service by visiting Safelink Wireless
